Dancers work on a series of progressively complex exercises to develop an ability to first connect with a partner, then access emotion, then finally to bring choices and response to choreography. The PLDM Core Fundamentals consists of ten exercises broken into 4 stages: The Connection, The Dialogue, The Emotional Character, and Telling the Story.
PLDM Choreography Breakdown

The Liberated Performer
Confidence is the key to winning competitions, performing your best, and enjoying your career. Those who master the mental side of performing actualize the thousands of hours they spend in the practice room because they can dance like themselves in pressure situations.
Why liberate performers? Studies have shown that performance anxiety affects all genders, all ages, and all levels of performers from children to long time professionals. However, the mental side of performing is barely addressed, yet it remains a vital ingredient in the formula for a successful career.
Coaches from Liberated Performer will help you learn the skills you need to thrive in performance situations and never let anxiety hold you back again.
